0-60 Calculator
Estimate 0-60 mph acceleration time from horsepower, curb weight and drivetrain using a simple power-to-weight model.
Estimate 0-60 mph from power and weight
U.S. performance searches usually use 0-60 mph, horsepower and curb weight. This calculator gives a rough estimate from power-to-weight ratio and drivetrain traction assumptions.
The drivetrain factor lowers the estimate for AWD and raises it for layouts that are more traction-limited at launch. The model is intentionally simple and should not be treated as a tested vehicle result.
